Krys Commits To NTDP

USA Hockey's National Team Development Program announced yesterday
that defenseman Chad Krys will join the U.S. National Under-17 Team for the
2014-15 season.

Krys, a Connecticut native, is viewed as the best player
available for the upcoming 2014 Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Entry Draft.
He’s been ranked No. 1 by HockeyProspect.com in their last few rankings.

Krys skated in 27 games for the New Jersey Rockets 19U
team. The defenseman scored one goal in one exhibition game and accumulated 30
points (8-22) in 26 regular season contests.

The Saint John Sea Dogs won yesterday’s draft lottery and
will pick first overall. Unless they can get Krys to commit to Saint John
before the draft, it’s probably unlikely they use the top pick on him. Krys
will likely be taken somewhere in the draft but, at this point, it’s hard to
say if he’ll ever play in the league.
